That’s not actually true. The vid is misleading as it is heavily edited.

He tried to apologise but not surprisingly was getting dogs’ abuse as did other members of the back room team.

Have to say that the vast majority of the uproar was from onlookers whereas the person hit by the bottle seemed less fussed, at least from where I was sitting.

The Birmingham bench sprayed water at home supporters sitting nearby without any interjection from stewards or the 4th official, but that section of the ground has next to no stewards and generally the oppo bench give as good as they get.

On Saturday McCall did try to make amends after the game as I suspect that he knew there would be consequences for the player.
